It is normal and natural to fart in the company of others. Your reaction should be to smile bashfully and apologise. They should then accept your apology with humour and good grace.

It is however, totally unnacceptable to say - ask someone to pull your finger and then fart. Or to get creative by handing someone a computer mouse and ask them to left click, and when they press it you fart. If someone does this to you, sever all contact. Do not live with them for 18 months and get caught out by the same trick once every three days.

Farting in front of a partner is just a bit... rubbish, isn't it? Despite the fact it's natural to like/enjoy routine and familiarity, I think it's important to try and keep a relationship fresh

An ex-girlfriend of mine once farted accidentally as we were walking home. We both chuckled, but then I dumped her two days later because I hadn't realised what a foul smelly bitch she was (that's a joke)

The 'other' farts that women do though, during the naked naughty stuff, is regrettably inevitable. Nowt wrong with that, if you ask me
